Steve Welch on Corporations

The rest of the debate focused on job creation and the economy, specifically corporate tax rates. All of the candidates favored lowering the corporate tax rate to promote job creation.

Welch said that the current tax code punishes small businesses, and that there are too many loopholes for large corporations (he made a few references to GE paying 0 percent taxes throughout the debate).
